Staff from Unleashing Enterprise were delighted to receive invitations to attend the West Midlands’ Young People’s Enterprise Centre of Expertise (YPECOE) “Think Enterprise Event” held on the 9th June in Birmingham.
The focus of the event was to share best practice and launch a new website for young entrepreneurs. Built by Raising IT, www.thinkenterprise.org is designed to give young people information and resources to help them think about enterprise and business start up. There are a wide range of tools, such as business plan templates, available to use and video clips of young entrepreneurs.
Speakers at the event included Lucian Tarnowski, founder and CEO of BraveNewTalent.com and Emma Kempsall, Chair of the Young People’s Enterprise Partnership set up by YPECOE to enable young people to influence enterprise policy within the West Midlands. The event was MC’s by Shivani Mair, herself a young entrepreneur who set up www.careerssurgery.com at the age of 22.
